CB is a product certification and mutual recognition program widely adopted by countries on five continents. It signifies that certified electrical products comply with IEC standards. The CB program is jointly recognized by global CB member states or non-CB member countries and regions. The CB plan was only established in 1961 when it only involved safety certification.
